Twenty-three year old Michael Dicker was arrested in the city centre Walkabout in Cumbria last month for being drunk and disorderly and resisting arrest. When Dicker became too intoxicated at a local pub he was approached by police officers. Dicker then began to struggle with the police officers when was to be arrested and it took six officers to hold him down. One female officer was wounded during the struggle receiving a bruised knee and injured hand.

During Dicker’s hearing he admitted that he has a drinking problem and should be banned from certain pubs and bars. Dicker pleaded with the court to allow him to visit his favorite bingo, the Gala Bingo Hall in the city. The court decided to ban Dicker from alcohol consumption, entering licensed premises in the city limits and also from being under the influence of alcohol. Dicker did however get the option to attend his favorite bingo hall if he remained sober.

Dicker was issued an anti-social behavior order (Asbo) that allows him to enter the Gala Bingo hall but gives the police the right to intervene if they deem it necessary. Dicker was also given a 12 month community service order and is to be supervised for six months.

Michael Dicker must really love his Bingo to be able to ask for permission to attend the local Gala and play the game he loves. The choice of the court to allow Dicker to visit the bingo premises is a strange one but hopefully it will give Dicker the freedom he would like and allow him to have fun sober.
